It looks like you have the stock type sliding caliper setup. If you havent already done it you can replace the stock A body calipers with the later model police type, they have larger pistons and make quite a difference in stopping power. Putting some kind of power assist will do nothing to stop...

It could be a police motor. They had thick balancers and log manifolds. They didnt use headers or special manifolds or steel cranks in because it was a cop car

This sucks. I hope you guys keep it going, I looked at this thread every time I got online so I could laugh at something.

I would think twice before swapping intakes on your 318-3. The stock BBD intake has coolant going through under the carb where your exhaust crossover normaly is. An aftermarket intake may work, or it may not……… something to keep in mind.

A good flare tool is very nice. Those cheap clamp together things with the little buttons are hit and miss. I bought one that you clamp in the vice... it has different dies you put in and pull a lever to do the flare. It makes a nice centered flare 100 percent of the time. Im at work, dont...

I have set them cold and it usually works ok… but the engine seems quieter and smoother when you set them hot. I’ve never tried it with the engine running, just one at a time going through the firing order.

Yes.

The industrial engines are good too. The block has extra ribbing on the outside. The heads, water pump, and exhaust manifolds wont work in a car, but the intake, distributor, block, crank are good to go. The transmissions from them are full of HD parts. All had steel cranks

I went through an 85 or 86 police 318 for a 91 truck one time. It had the quadrajet carb with open chamber 360 heads. 345 or something casting number. The pistons were a little closer to the deck than a normal 318. It was a roller cam block with a flat tappet cam in it. I put it in the truck...

Good work. should be a very fun car

Try to use a drill press spindle with a 4 inch boring bar the tool with jump around and chatter like crazy. Please don’t waste any decent mopar blocks if you ever try it. Use a Chevy or ford, they are softer anyways

You could find some stock A body axles and just narrow your housing

Is the long one the same length as a 727?

Pull the carrier out, should have plenty of room to drill then

That is bad ***.

If they are 516 those work great on a 383. They are closed chamber without the core plug on the end. 2.08 x 1.6 valves

With those pistons and your 452 heads you are going to have 8:1 compression or maybe less. Get some pistons with 2.062 compression height and you will be much happier with it

I didn’t see how it could be done without cutting out the crossmember. I cut it Out and welded in a u shaped piece of strap to The ends of the remaining member and the floor. I used the outer two original holes with a homemade trans support with a gm type mount.

I bought a set their rockers a few years ago. Put them on my stroker motor with a hydraulic roller cam. so Far so good. i didn’t get that kit, just the rockers. They are nice. No stupid needle bearings. Those Chinese rockers with the needle bearings are scary.

I built my first 440 for my road runner back in the day. Home ported 452 heads with stock valves, had no idea what I was doing. Car ran low 13 seconds with a comp .501 cam. I bought a set of 915 heads with 2.14/1.81 valves that had been hogged out by a local racer… they looked great. I had...

I made my own

i Did this swap in a 68 dart. I didn’t modify the floor pan, but I did have to cut out the center of the torsion bar crossmember and weld in a piece of strap to tie it back together. Lots of info on this swap on this site.

The 10” spindles are a huge strength upgrade.

At work

Thank you

measured inside to inside of the mounting lugs protruding from the back of the crossmember, not center to center.

I just went out and measured a 71 scamp at 22 1/2 inches and a 64 dodge330 at 24 1/2 thats not exact, just me laying on the gravel in the dark with 25 ft Stanley and a flashlight in a hurry because on its freaking cold

Sweet truck. Do you have any pics of the brackets that hold the center caps?

I bought some header flanges off of eBay and a kit from summit racing with a bunch of pre bent 1 3/4 pipe and collectors. worked great and was a fun project. The poly went in a truck so plenty of room, but im sure a set for an A body could be accomplished the same way. The poly is a neat...

My 61 w200 had a sort of “universal” bellhousing. It has the slant and v8 bolt patterns. There is another set of holes maybe for the flathead six? Im pretty sure whatever V8 bolted to it would need to have the early style longer 8 bolt flange. The slant had a weird offset flywheel that I had to...
